TL;DR: In this paper, a glacial climate record derived from an ice core from Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica, which represents South Atlantic climate at a resolution comparable with the Greenland ice core records was presented.

TL;DR: The importance of ice dynamics and ice–climate interactions in establishing the 100,000-year glacial cycles is demonstrated, with enhanced North American ice-sheet growth and the subsequent merging of the ice sheets being key elements.

TL;DR: In this article, dynamic ice-flow models for 12 glaciers and ice caps have been forced with various climate change scenarios, and the results indicate that few glaciers would survive until 2100.

TL;DR: In this article, a database of surface Antarctic snow isotopic composition is constructed using available measurements, with an estimate of data quality and local variability, and the capacity of theoretical isotopic, regional, and general circulation atmospheric models to reproduce the observed features and assess the role of moisture advection in spatial deuterium excess fluctuations.

TL;DR: Continuous Global Positioning System observations reveal rapid and large ice velocity fluctuations in the western ablation zone of the Greenland Ice Sheet, which suggests that the englacial hydraulic system adjusts constantly to the variable meltwater input, which results in a more or less constant ice flux over the years.
